Learn to decorate the perfect snowflakes with these easy snowflake cookies! Check out the Beginner Snowflakes online class here.
A small selection of the sets I’ve made are offered as online cookie decorating classes. For a full selection of all cookie sets I’ve made (both those that are classes and those that are detailed in full on the blog), click here.
The cutter used is the 3.25″ Snowflake from Brighton Cutters (this is the same snowflake cutter used in the Classic Christmas class) . (The workbook also provides alternative cutter options, including options from Amazon.)
Easy Snowflake Cookies
What makes these Easy Snowflake Cookies so special?
This set was made with at-home beginner cookiers in mind, so it uses ONE consistency, ONE shape and 2 colors. Yes, you heard that right! Now that’s my kind of beginner class!
Fewer consistencies and colors = less time spent prepping.
One shape = less money spent on supplies.
Love the snowflake? Try out the advanced version of this set! It’s the same cutter but we’re taking this up several notches with the skills and techniques covered. Check out the Snowflakes class here.
Royal icing skills covered in this class:
- One consistency outline and flood
- Working with tipless bags (and cutting tipless bags)
- Piping and flooding with a thick flood
- Crackle technique
- Wet on wet technique
- Basic line work with a flood consistency
- Working with sprinkles

Free Resources for this Set
For every class set, I still produce my usual YouTube videos. One is a sped-up compilation of the full set (at a more reasonable pace than the fast video above) and the second is a tutorial. This tutorial video is *not* at all like the class video.
The free YouTube tutorial video (below) shows each cookie in real-time with a voiceover, however, it is much shorter than the class videos and does not include any additional resources (classes include a 60+ page workbook).
VIDEO COMING SOON
I deliver my class videos as if I was teaching a live class, so a 20 minute YouTube tutorial can easily be a 2 hour class video. Either way, I like to provide different levels of information with different levels of investment. Choose the path that best suits you!

Hi Grace! Thank you so much for sharing your talents/art! I am an avid baker and made your cookie and royal icing recipe for the first time to make these snowflake cookies (1 consistency thick flood, two colours) and everything turned out perfectly - I dare say almost identical to your photos. For the crackle effect cookie, I checked at 15-20-30 and 60 minutes and just couldn't find the perfect spot to get a proper attractive crackle I liked, so I skipped that design. It's Something I'll have to sort out of next time! I have enough icing left to make another batch of these cookies and have frozen the rest in the piping bags to make another set in a couple of weeks. I don't want to have to make more icing since I don't need it, can I just defrost, massage/mix the piping bag icing and proceed? I saw in another post that you recommended adding fresh icing which I would prefer to not have to do/make (if possible).Totally understand if you cant answer, I am sure you are inundated with comments.
Thanks for the great videos and tutorials, I wish you continued success and look forward to new cookie designs!
Holly :)

@thegracefulbaker,
Okay, thanks Grace. I followed your tutorial to the tee and they dried perfectly, no craters, nice poof etc but I think I expected them to not feel sticky at crackle stage and probably got that wrong. Appreciate you taking the time to answer.
Best :)

Hi Holly! If you purchased a class, the best place to leave questions is the comments section of the private class YouTube video :) If not... the short answer... if your icing isn't "cracking" after 60 minutes, meaning it has dried enough on the surface level to crack, then there is something wrong with your icing. Royal icing should have a dried top level by the 10-20 minutes mark, and certainly by 30 minutes. It's hard to say since I'm not in your kitchen with you, but based on what you're saying I'd say there's an issue with your icing and I wouldn't recommend reusing the leftover. Sorry!
